Mossberg: Can a $150 Windows laptop be any good? | The Verge

"I see this new Lenovo, while hardly the company's flagship, as more than a one-off curiosity. I see it as part of an important new trend.

In fact, I predict that, over time, the Windows laptop market, which has long clustered in the $400-700 range, will gradually fragment into very low-end and very high-end segments -- the former to take on Google and the latter to take on Apple. I expect the middle to thin out, as customers on a budget go for the cheaper models and those who want and can afford the latest and greatest go higher."
